- Does it mean no such thing as 'in or out of network'? That alone cost me $10,000 in 2015, over an above the $21,600 premiums.
- Will it be PPO or HMO-style? Some of us like Kaiser, some don't.
- Will I be forced to change providers? A real sore spot from the ACA for me.
I guess I'm saying, do it, but for God's sake, get it right the first time.

- mahyarm 10y agoIn Canada it's like one very large HMO that covers the country or province. Part of single payer is not being able to avoid participation. I don't know if your provider will be able to avoid participating unless they move out of CA.
